Description
- Abstract: The project surveyed estuarine wetland sites in the Alsea and Yaquina basins. Sites surveyed were tidal wetlands falling within Jefferson’s (1975) plant community categories of low silt marsh, low sand marsh, sedge marsh, immature high marsh, and mature high marsh. (Mud flats, algal flats and eelgrass beds were not included.) The goal was to prioritize these tidal wetland sites for protection and restoration activity. The information provided by this study provides a basis for working with interested landowners to develop site-specific action plans. Development of these action plans will require landowner contact, field work, and other steps outlined elsewhere in this report.
-
- Purpose: This project, commissioned in 1998, is part of the Mid-Coast Watersheds Council's efforts to better understand the status and condition of the area’s natural resources and to work with interested landowners to enhance and protect important areas. This work complements and extends the assessment work being done in the streams and watersheds of the Yaquina and Alsea rivers.
